As prices go up the sport/hobby community WILL lose members. Much of the panic/impulse buying by new gun owners will be a one time buy, only to sit unused. But as prices hold and even continue to rise more and more folks will shoot less and less. You personally may have a stash or economic means to buy no matter the price. But realize that many many members do not. That’s all over every forum. Which brings me to my to point. With less and less shooting people’s interests will go elsewhere. If I’m covered for supply for my weapons for a SHTF situation then they can sit and stand ready. But if I’m not reloading, buying new guns and ammo or equipment or shooting, then my interest in conversations about same dwindles. If so, then interest in forums will start to wind down. A smaller and smaller group can entertain each other. Not a good scenario but possible. Food for thought.
